One of older servers (our first DA server, back from 2003) is going to be replaced within some time.
I however want to setup some 'default' features on the new server.
Most of these features revolve around MySQL upgrades and the new Spamblocker version, but I also want to introduce Dovecot before importing the users.
Will this work?
Will DA 'migrate' the users before activating them?
Or will I have to do this the other way around, and HAVE to import all users before migrating to dovecot?
The server being imported from is running the old version, in combination with a stone age Red Hat installation...
So migrating them on the old server before running the backup is not an option. This would kill the server (it's having near death experiences already, I want to migrate all users within a week or 2, as 50% of the raid (raid 1 that is) system has failed already).
